Same opponents as 2016 but different order and different locations. For right now, Solon is still part of Division 1, Region 1. But people close to the program keep telling me that the Comets will drop down to Division 2 in 2017.

Really?? That is a shock.

They have to be dropping enrollment or something, because they're one of the biggest schools in the state. Is it just for football, or for other sports as well?

We're not that big. Right now, Solon is the smallest school in the GCC. Our enrollment has dropped by about 100 boys since 2009. And I hear it's supposed to take a big spike downward after this current senior class graduates. I imagine that Solon will still stay D1 in basketball, baseball and other sports.

D1 is currently 581 or more boys. We were at 642 last year, but that number is going down.

I know I read last year where Mentors coach (Trivisano) said they were scheduling St. Eds starting in 2017. I wonder if they couldn't make it happen or it is happening, and another game on Mentors schedule listed is wrong?

Week 1 for St. Eds will be at Pine Richland. I remember talking to the AD from PR last year and him telling me that it was a 2 year home and home deal with Eds. And I know the WPIAL (PR's league), only has week 1 open. The rest of the WPIAL schedule is against other WPIAL teams.

I've been hearing that St. Ignatius could be coming to Erie, Pa to play a team from Maryland week 1. The game would be part of a doubleheader at Erie McDowell. That's not confirmed, but hearing it is a very strong possibility.

Mentor AD Jeff Cassella said last year that Mentor would play Ed's in 2017 because no one he called in 2015 was willing to schedule Mentor in week 3 other than St X. He said he'd rather travel one hour and play Ed's in week 3 for 2017 than 5 hours and play St. X again.

That makes perfect sense to me. So is week 3 a done deal between Mentor and Eds? And Mentor vs. St X is off?

Does not sound like it. Someone said Mentor has Glenville instead in week 3. I PM'd EagleFan about it.

So are you thinking/saying that for Mentor on week 3, they:
1. Decided to drop St. X.
2. Was talking last year about adding St. Eds for 2017, and decided not to add them as well.
3. And instead want to schedule Glenville?

I noticed on the 2017 Mentor schedule on 9/29 it lists Mentor at Medina. Is that accuarate since in 2016 Mentor played AT Medina. I would think in 2017 the game would be at Mentor. Is that an error, or truly playing at Medina 2 years in a row?
